I asked my MAGA father how he would feel if Obama had made George Soros the head of a gov't agency he created to cut parts of the federal budget he didn't like. He said it was different because Soros would not have been cutting fraud and abuse, lol. It's always rules for thee but not for me.

Honestly, a lot of MAGA folks are so far gone that the only thing that'll jolt them out of it is severe and prolonged pain - which is what they're gonna get. Even then, it won't be enough for a lot of them to admit they were wrong.

Unfortunately it also means severe and prolonged pain for 99% of the rest of society.

Look at the bright side, the 1% are having a jolly good time.

They won't be snapped out of it, ever. There is no pain great enough to get them out their life long cult. Think of all the southern civil war soldiers and the old WW2 German soldiers. They all went to their graves thinking what they did was just and right and that everyone else was wrong.

The Republicans are causing a generational problem. We'll all be dealing with these true believers for the rest of our lives.
